Because The Lord of the Rings is a historical account of the happenings of the final years of the Third Age as recorded by the hobbits. Hobbits are men, and were fascinated by elves.
Dwarves kept to themselves and their jewels underground.
The Iron Hills were too far from Rohan. The messenger from Rohan didn't even have the time to get there to ask their help, much less make it all the way back with an army of dwarves.
